Pleasant View Skilled Nursing and Rehab is a 130 bed skilled nursing facility located in the rolling hills of southern Green County, allowing our residents a picturesque view of the rural landscape. We’ve provided residents 24 hour rehabilitative care, long term care and dementia care since 1969.

Pleasant View has a rich history that extends back to the 1860’s; the first poor farm for Green County was purchased in 1861 in the town of Mount Pleasant.The first ledger entry is dated February 1st, 1883.  Originally built to serve the needs of Green County citizens who were poor and mentally infirm, the facility was called the "Green County Asylum”, "The Poor Farm” and the "Green County Mental Hospital”. In 1969, new construction of our present facility was completed; North wings were added in 1973.
